fixed my melting-saddlebag problem

i took Sarris's advice (and through in a little of Easy's too) and did the sheet metal sandwich. i found metal roofing shingles for 44 cents each and some metal shears for $12 something. couldn't find a rivets or a rivet gun and i was short on time so i used bolts instead. whole thing would have been under $15 but i decided a few extra drill bits are always nice to have around so i bought a 1/4 inch metal-drilling bit and a 3/16 one just for the fun of it.

i can't find my camera but i'll try and have some pictures up soon.

i also couldn't find any loctite (like i said i was short on time) but i've got some around somewhere.

i haven't put them back on the bike yet.
